Hi,
I connected two SOLOs to my Raspberry Pi via UART and a multiplexer to control 2 linear motors. The setup works but I noticed that the motors do not move (or rather start to move) at the same time. My code block is like this:
speed = 1500 __solo_driver_0.set_speed_reference(speed) __solo_driver_1.set_speed_reference(speed) time.sleep(2)
I am planning on switching to CAN but I have to wait for the delievery of a few parts until I can try it out. In the meantime I continue with UART and wanted to know if you have any idea if the root of the problem is in my code (do I have to call them differently to move them at the same time?) or somewhere else.
The 2 motors are not exactly the same. One is bigger and draws more current than the other.
Kind regards,
unolittlebird
Hi @unolittlebird,
In this code, I don't see when you change the multiplexer channel from one SOLO to the other one?
so basically before setting a reference for each of these channels you need to make sure first you select properly the channel on the multiplexer. Let me know about this.
